Not producing Soorma to stay relevant, says Chitrangada Singh

Talented actress Chitrangada Singh has entered the world of film production with Soorma. Talking about this new phase in her career, she says, “I wouldn’t say it’s a thankless job. I have made friends on this new journey, and everything takes time. People ask me if I’m doing this to stay relevant in the industry. No, not at all, I’m not doing this to stay relevant.”

As a first-time producer, there are bound to be ups and downs. “It’s been exciting. There were phases when I was nervous, excited and frustrated. But then it gets exciting again, and I’m not complaining. I believe anybody who has produced a film will have gone through the same feelings,” she says.

Soorma tells the story of Sandeep Singh, a professional hockey player and a former captain of the Indian national team. Delving into details about the project, the actress says, “It’s not a safe bet, and that was the frustrating part. It is just a brilliant human story. And coming from a sports background, I think it’s unbelievable what this man has achieved. It’s not a media-driven story.”

Soorma, directed by Shaad Ali, features Diljit Dosanjh, Taapsee Pannu, Angad Bedi and Vijay Raaz. It will hit silver screens on July 13.
